Analysis
Subheading 8215.91 covers plated with precious metal, within heading 8215. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
1 of its 3 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (33%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.2%. The median line pays 2.7%.
The US splits it as follows: 8215.91.30 for plated with precious metal: forks (duty-free), 8215.91.60 for plated with precious metal: spoons and ladles (4.2%) and 8215.91.90 for plated with precious metal: other (including parts) (2.7%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Metal Kitchen Cookware, Utensil, Cutlery, and Flatware (except Precious) Manufacturing (332215). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
